Giannis Antetokounmpo is coming off of an MVP award-winning season where the Bucks fell just short of the NBA Finals. Before the stoppage this season, Antetokounmpo was undoubtedly the favorite to win it once again and likely will when the season resumes. Based on how strong the Bucks have been over the past two years, they look to be in a great position to lock down a new deal with Antetokounmpo.
Milwaukee also has Khris Middleton locked up for the next few years, and the forward has solidified himself as the team’s second star after his second consecutive All-Star appearance. With Eric Bledsoe and Brook Lopez secured for the next several years as well, the Bucks are likely to remain contenders for the long haul.
